Erase Acne Scarring Applying a Gentle, all Organic Skin Care Solution.

Acne inflammations eliminate collagen and elastin fibers. They sever the microvascular system, and damage and kill healthy skin cells. When healing is delayed and the lesions left behind by acne are not well treated, a scar is born. Any healthy functional tissue ( skin) is replaced by connective tissue (scars).

The loss of minor feeder vessels has a major influence in lowering the skin and immune system's capability to deal with acne and to cause precipitated skin aging because the skin receives less protective antioxidants, nutrients, oxygen, proteins, essential fatty acids, amino acids and so on. This hinders the cells' ability to function and, subsequently, the skin's ability to perform various processes, such as protection, immunity, maintenance and reparation.

Based on the shape of the tissue, acne scars are divided into two categories. The first consists of increased skin tissue at the site of acne formation, and the second is characterized by a decrease of tissue formation. When scar tissue is enlarged it is called a Keloid and is more prominent in African-Americans. The most common type of acne scars are caused by a loss of skin tissue that results from lesions caused to underlying skin. These wounds are similar to scars left behind by chicken pox.They are usually called depressed or pitted acne scars. These scars include ice-pick scars with sharp jagged edges, soft tissue scars and depressed fibrotic scars. Ice-pick scars normally appear near the cheek area. They are small with steep, jagged edges which make healing or treatment difficult. If these small scars become large and steep with sharp edges, then they are then called depressed fibrotic scars. A different type of scar is known as a soft scar. It is both shallow and deep and has small rounded edges that fuse together with healthy skin. A soft scar is either circular or linear in shape.

Pigmented scars are red or brown spots left behind after an acne blemish has faded. This type of scar is the most common and while it is not permanent, it can take weeks or even months to clear-up. Often times the scar has not completely disappeared before a new set of blemishes appear. Pigmented scars usually affect the sufferer emotionally causing them to enter a mild state of depression set-off by a continuous cycle of discolored skin. Some people may have found a treatment that keeps their blemishes under control only to discover that the red or brown marks remain.

Acne scarring treatment

Both pitted acne scars and pigmented acne scars may be treated with our BIOSKINCARE or BIOSKINCLEAR products. You should apply these products twice a day and over a prolonged period of time, if; however, your acne scars are too deep you should apply the cream for at least 8 to 12 weeks before noticing any change.

Recovery of lost tissue may take longer if the damage is too extensive. In these cases other remedies may be needed, some options are: fat injections, microdermabrasion, deep chemical peelings, cosmetic fillers or laser surgery.

Acne scars do no manifest themselves the same in everyone. In some people scars heal quickly while others carry scars for a lifetime. Psychologically, people also show varied reactions to acne scarring. Some people consider scarring as something normal, while others worry about even the smallest scar and may go to great lengths to get them erased.

Another cause of acne scarring is when unnecessary pressure is applied directly to an acne pimple. The most common way of applying pressure is by popping or squeezing a pimple. This spreads the infection to nearby skin and damages vulnerable tissue, which later result in pit-like scars.

Treatment of severe acne scars depends on the scars shape, depth, and location. Individual scars of any depth may be cut out and the skin sewn back together. Wide indented scars can be treated cosmetically by a procedure called subcision, in which minor cuts are made under the skin to free the scar tissue.

Doctors can deal with large, inflamed nodules or abscesses by injecting corticosteroids directly into them. Some surgeons will even cut open a nodule or abscesses to dissipate it.

BIOSKINCLEAR can be applied to help remedy almost any type of acne scarring. It can also be used while on retinoids (isotretinoin: Retin A, Roaccutane, Accutane®, Differin gel, etc.) or in combination with oral systemic antibiotics used to stop severe acne infections. BIOSKINCLEAR does not interfere with retinoids, a drug that might have been recommended to reduce the production of sebum. Nor does it interfere with systemic antimicrobials (such as Tetracycline or Minocycline). BIOSKINCARE is also safe when used with local chemical disinfectant solutions that fight acne bacteria (such as benzoyl peroxide or salicilyc acid) moreover; it may help relieve undesired secondary effects, like dryness and skin fragility by strengthening the skin.

What is this product that produces such wonderful results?
BIOSKINCLEAR is a natural skin care remedy that contains antioxidants and natural activators that help remove damaged skin cells along with skin regenerating stimulators that encourage skin recuperation. These elements are embodied in a complex mixture discovered by scientists. It is composed of carbohydrates or glycomolecules (glycol- meaning sugar molecules) bound to proteins, peptides (amino-acid sequences), enzymes and oligoelements. The function of the latter is to act as signals sent to the body influencing it to start the dissolution of the bonds of damaged tissues while rapidly promoting the reproduction of human skin cells.

Part of the chore done by this mixture is to dissolve the "glue" that holds dead skin cells onto the surface of the skin. This is done by lowering cell adherence in the lower levels of the stratum corneum, triggering an increase in cell renewal. It also helps slough off dead cells (desquamation), speed-up skin turnover, and bring to the surface a layer of smoother, softer skin.

BIOSKINCLEAR also helps heal injuries caused to the cells lining the sebum canals and hair follicles. It also helps rehydrate the skin by boosting the proliferation of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, a complex carbohydrate molecule that fills the spaces between the skin cells and holds many times its own weight in water. This is all possible thanks to the existence of glycoprotein enzymes that have been incorporated into BIOSKINCLEAR.

BIOSKINCLEAR also acts within the hair follicles and on the surface and inside the dermis. It helps restore a natural and healthy skin tone with normal pigment production. In order to maintain this balance we recommend you use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing to avoid any further darkening from sun exposure. The first result is softer looking skin; however, the ultimate change is produced when new "invisible hair" called lanugo begins to grow out of the recovered hair follicles. This process can take as long as 4 to 12 months for damaged skin or old acne scarring.

Where does this natural stuff come from?
The natural compound is not an inventive concoction thought up by an advanced biochemical facility. Instead, it is a naturally created solution fabricated by a tiny creature with a skin structure much like that of a human. Its structural elements are the same as human skin: collagen, melanin, elastin and other structures. This living organism produces a secretion that is it uses as a signaling or communicating vehicle that improves the efficiency of its natural immune system. We are referring to that part of the immune system that is also found in humans and that responds locally and unspecifically to any foreign substance, invading microbes, or damage done to its tissues, etc. Unlike our adaptive immune systems that react in a more specific manner. The living organism, along with the help of the substance it produces, quickly restores the continuity of damaged skin without leaving behind abnormal scarring.

The secretions we are referring to are those produced abundantly by land snails. These secretions are produced by the snail when it is in danger or stressed. These conditions can be provoked by a series of situations:

1) when the snail's organism is being bombarded by oxygen radicals after it comes out of hibernation
2) when the snail has been wounded by a predator or by its surroundings or
3) when the snail has been exposed to stressful circumstances, either by predators or its surroundings. In order to collect the snail serum from the snail it is exposed to a stressful situation but without inflicting any real harm.

Why does acne develop and why is the natural compound so efficient in fighting acne or folliculitis?
Acne develops from an association between microbes, skin oils, hormones and immune system reactions that involve the cells in the sebum canals, found within the hair follicles.

Sebaceous glands are located in the middle layer of skin (dermis), and secrete an oily substance called sebum. These glands can be found all over the hair follicles. The sebum and dead skin cells usually flow from the sebaceous gland and hair follicle out through the skin pores and onto the surface of the skin.

Classification of Acne Irritations

Acne whiteheads are a combination of oils, sebum and cellular pieces that produce firm hard plugs within hair follicles. The follicles are blocked by cellular fragments that seal the follicle opening. Because they are blocked and have no proximity with oxygen, they do not oxidize or turn brown, as blackheads do. They form a light-yellow agglomeration that is called milia (or milium, for singular). When microbes spread inside the follicles, below these plugs, the condition can lead to an acne infection, more likely cystic acne.

Whiteheads are caused by excessive cellular exfoliation, which rapidly clogs or blocks the follicles. Some skin experts profess that individuals with frequent or multiple blackheads or whiteheads produce sebum that is drier than normal sebum and conducive to the production of firm plugs. Sebum creates skin oils; therefore people with dry sebum may have dry skin. This can be especially true in people with chronic whiteheads, but it is also possible to have dry sebum and oily skin.

The sebaceous glands usually produce sebum that has linoleic acid (omega 6), an essential fatty acid that creates a viscous type of sebum. Essential fatty acids are very strong anti-inflammatory agents; therefore, sebum made with linoleic acid is actually calming to the skin and hair follicles and does not produce follicular irritation. When linoleic acid is not available, the sebaceous glands produce sebum with oleic acid. This oleic form of sebum is irritating to the skin and produces plugs. Oleic sebum is much firmer than linoleic sebum and is prone to forming hard plugs rather than flowing out of the follicle. This causes blackheads and whiteheads. Both of these conditions may lead to acne infections.

A blocked sebum-filled hair follicle stimulates an overgrowth of the bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes, which is normally present in the hair follicle. These types of bacteria break the sebum down into elements that irritate the skin. The resulting inflammation and infection create skin eruptions that are known as acne pimples. When the infection worsens, an abscess may appear and spread causing further infection.

Treatments for Acne
Taking care of acne is very easy. Apply BIOSKINCARE twice a day every day or, if your skin is oily, apply BIOSKINCLEAR. Damaged areas must be washed with a mild liquid soap before applying the product. The use of antibacterial or harsh soaps, alcohol pads, and heavy frequent scrubbing gives no added benefit and may further irritate the skin. Cosmetics should be water-based; very greasy products can worsen acne. Although there are no limitations on specific foods, for example, pizza or chocolate, a healthy, well-balanced diet should be followed.

In spite of these routine measures an effective acne treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Mild acne requires the simplest treatment, which represents the fewest risks of secondary effects. More severe acne or acne that does not react easily to preliminary treatment requires a more involved treatment.

Mild Acne Drugs used to treat moderate acne are applied to the skin. These drugs are called topical drugs. They work by either eliminating bacteria or by drying up or unclogging the pores.

BIOSKINCLEAR ACTS EFFICIENTLY AGAINST ACNE BACTERIA
Bacteria have existed for millions of years by creating resistance to new stressors including natural antibiotics like penicillin. What simply occurs is that the bacteria, with an elevated rate of mutation, modifying one or more of the enzymes that are employed to break the link between a target protein and the antibiotic. As a result, the antibiotic can't do its work.

Snail secretions have antimicrobial peptides which do not promote bacterial resistance. The secretions stimulate the proliferation of antimicrobials on the surface of the skin and inside the hair follicles. These peptides punch holes in the membrane of the bacteria making it impossible for the target bacteria to mutate or fight against any antimicrobial action.

When a peptide antibiotic makes a hole in the cellular membrane of bacteria, the bacteria would have to restructure its entire foundation to be able to protect itself from being attacked. This level of change would mean changing many of the enzymes that are responsible for making the complex membrane in the first place.

Peptide antibiotics react within minutes. Part of the reason is because of how the peptide acts on the cellular membrane. However, to kill a cell the peptide must rapidly find the bacterial membrane. How does this occur? The answer lies in the construction of the cellular membrane. A bacterial membrane is made up of fats and sugars that have an elevated negative electrical charge which quickly attracts the peptide antimicrobials.

Severe Acne
Antibiotics that are taken orally are restricted to the treatment of severe acne. Some people may need to take some drugs for weeks, months, or even years to avoid reappearance. Isotretinoin (Accutane®) is a strong drug that can create many undesired secondary effects. It is prescribed by doctors to reduce sebum secretion when severe acne has gotten out of control and is no longer susceptible to other treatments.

Other acne therapies are appropriate for some people. For example, a woman with severe acne that intensifies with her menstrual period can benefit by taking oral contraceptives. This treatment takes at least 2 to 4 months to produce results.
